Chase Walk Camp Details

For camp this weekend please make sure you have with you all of your walking kit on the list below PLUS your usual camping kit (including a chair) in a separate bag. Make sure you have with you enough food to eat while you are walking, do not forget you will be walking for between 10 and 13 hours. DO NOT BRING DRINKS, water is provided on the way round, drinks are far too heavy to carry with you all day. Below is a photo of the drinks confiscated from ONE walker a few years ago, please do not be ‘that’ person.

I have received a few health forms, if you have not handed one in to me yet make sure you bring one with you on Friday.
